Ethanol contains 33 percent less energy per gallon than gasoline. “E 15 is misfuel for a boat engine.; thereby voiding their engine's warranty and potentially causing engine failure.”

Classic engine systems may not be able to even use E10 without system damage.

You can buy "no Ethanol" fuel where I live and I search it out.

I sure hope it is true though. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
